set HTTP headers in WebEngine JavaFX

Question

How to pass the HTTP Headers like

"Accept-Language", "Accept", "Accept-Encoding" to WebEngine in JavaFX? i have tried the method as specified in Setting a cookie using JavaFX's WebEngine/WebView, but it doesn't work. is there any API that is being exposed in Java 8 for achieving this? Pls suggest.

Answer 1

Since JDK 8u60 the default locale of the application is automatically added to the "Accept-Language" header as the first option. This may help in some cases although it would of course be better to be able to set all these headers explicitly.
